VEGETARIAN LASAGNE

This is something a little bit different to what i usually put on here but i decided to begin showing a more diverse range of foods. Jordy's Cooking Spot has kind of turned into Jordy's Dessert Spot where all i make is desserts!! So in celebrating savoury foods, i wanted to show you guys something i love making...vegetarian lasagne! I'm not in any way a vegetarian; however, i appreciate meatless versions of traditional dishes. So here is the recipe which my mum came up with and turns out deliciously amazing everytime.

Step 1. There are a couple of things you have to prepare before you start assembling the actual lasagne. The items we prepare now will become the basis of what our lasagne layers are filled with.

a.) The vegetables: Slice up pumpkin, eggplant and onion so that you can sauteé them. Leave them on until 3/4 way cooked.

b.) The white sauce: You can always buy a bottle of white sauce but i prefer making my own. All you need if flour, butter, salt, pepper and cream. Mix all these in a saucepan until boil.

c.) The tomato sauce: I picked up a bottle for convenience because i don't know how to make my own tomato sauce.

Step 2. Now that you have all your ingredients prepared, you can begin assembling the lasagne

Layer 1- Spread both oil and tomato sauce on the bottom of the lasagne dish.

Layer 2- Add a layer of pasta sheets. The pasta sheets may not fit perfectly so feel free to overlap and break of pieces where necessary.

Layer 3- On top of that pasta sheet put a large quantity of the white sauce. Cover with pasta sheets.

Layer 4- This is a vegetable layer where you put your eggplant, pumpking and onion.

Layer 5- Cover with pasta sheets.

Layer 6- Another layer where you place your vegetables.

Layer 7- This layer is where you mix your tomato sauce with feta cheese. Cover with pasta sheets.

Layer 8- A layer of white sauce and finish with cheese.

I hope this recipe works out really well for you, i find that it always tastes delicious!
